(Paul's view of freedom:
  • From earning own salvation
  • To living life like Jesus)

Focus Points:

  1. We are to be passionate for the salvation of others.

    Luke 16:19-31 (Rich man and Lazarus)
    Romans 10:13-14

  2. This passion for the salvation of others through the Gospel will free us for flexibility in "non-essentials".

    Acts 13:14-16
    Acts 14:1
    1 Corinthians 9:20-21
    1 Corinthians 10:27
    1. Paul is committed to the core Gospel message, "There is one God, one Savior who has died atoning death and risen victoriously. The only way to salvation is to repent and trust Jesus alone."
    2. Life that God requires is the life lived in the Spirit, walking in the ways that are pleasing unto Him. (This statement goes along with Romans 8:5).

    We are to live with the concern of others who are in need of salvation.

    We should adjust our behavior in "non-essentials" with sensitivity to the lost so that we can communicate clearly the Gospel of Christ and influence them toward Him.

  3. This passion will free us to endure hardship for the sake of the Gospel.
    1 Corinthians 9:20
    2 Corinthians 11:24
    Philippians 4:12 (Paul knew times of lacking and times of plenty.)
